[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This street is in Oliena, a village in the centre of Sardinia. I must point out that the white in the mountains is not snow, but the colour of the rocks. When I took this photo, it was warm... about 30°, more or less...

What a beautiful street scene. You have captured this very well, I wish I had something similar to shoot. This is my favourite TE street scene, thanks for sharing.

I like your composition very much - you've got a nice, detailed image. I have the impression of a slight tilt to the left - it's probably not real, but from several of the walls' being crooked. Still, a tiny rotation might help. Welcome to TE!

This is awesome, the mountain, the curvy road, the stairs, the palmtree...everything. And somehow it looks like a painting.

A beautiful digital painting of this pitoresk turning street, nicely composed with clear and still deep colors even till the mountains and fluffy sky.

I love this picture, a full palet of colours, the perspective, the ups and downs
but at the same time there's something mysterious as if it's a trompe-l'oeil, a delusion, a certain flatness, I think because of the twisting stone-stairs...
all the same : beautiful

Francesco, marvellous photo of this place, just one of your beautiful country. Excellent framing, colours and detail, very good!

Very well composed, it could be a painting. The street in the old village makes a great subject and the level of detail and the colors are very good.

This is an excellent view. Very nice depth of field and very beautiful atmosphere. The colors are so subtle and beautiful. The textures are so rich. The composition is beautiful with the curving road and steps and that seem to lead to the distant mountain. Outstanding shot, Francesco. Excellent work.

Hai imparato presto, Francesco. Hai colto un magnifico angolo di questo paese e lo scorcio di montagna che si intravede aggiunge molto alla composizione. Bene il fatto che non ci sia gente. Ho anch'io delle foto di stradine di paesini siciliani ma non belle come questa. Non le ho mandate su TE (mi frega il cielo che è sempre bruciato). Ottima anche l'esposizione.

I love the contrast between the "cold" colors of the mountains and the sky in the background and the "warm" colors of the buildings. The composition is very effective capturing all the colorful details in the small village street.

This looks like a great scene to be made into a painting. This sure looks like a beautiful place and you captured it beautifully too. like th ecurving road and the overlooking mouintains!

Superb, this is more than a photo.
Like the colors and like the whole composition.

Bellissima questa, un quadro a olio. Se non leggevo le note avrei giurato che quella sullo sfondo fosse neve. Anche così, faccio fatica a crederci!
complimenti!
ciao, Giorgio

un soggetto semplice ma attraente, valorizzato da un risultato tecnico così come hanno già detto quelli che mi hanno preceduto...
un saluto

What a wonderful photo Francesco. I like everything about it. The sharpness, the color and the contrast between them, the texture, and the snowy mountain in the backgroud they all blend perfectly here to produce this beautiful photo. I also find interesting how the white structure, which appears to be more modern/new, sandwiched by the older structure. Great capture. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Francesco,

What a nice street ! Reminds me of a couple of paintings of Sicily or Sardinia
which were in our home, when I was a kid.
You chose a moment with soft light which
adds an atmosphere, otherwise with a strong
sun you would have had very dark shades. But also your framing is excellent, Well done !

I was looking at your pics and this one is yet another beautiful one. I love how you captured the mountains through the curving street, great composition and stunning colors.

Is the first time that I can see you in your gallery and nice work. Sincerely my first works could be good as you, but ARE the first time, and time and necessary to make friendship and knowledge. It's like a TIME machine and Spring knowledge like "Aries" in elemmens and astrology and nature spirit creativity.

The best to you, your nice work and friendly approach in your first and well succeded next ones.

Congratulations and my personnal and way of contribution and momment presence.!

Fernando!

very nice : depth, colours, composition. everything conveys a feeling of serenity & quietness

Francesco,
What a beautiful place and your framing and color is just great. I like the inclusion of the stairs to the left as it enhances the perspective of the winding street. Wonderful!

Really good!
It seems a painting. Colors are something like oil paint and they are warm and soft.
All is quiet and sleeppy!

Absolutely beautiful scene, gorgeous shot, Francesco! Thanks!
